I just bought the new metal gear... Hope it's good but at 13.39 still cheaper than goin pub.. Will prolly end up like loads of other games I bought installed and never played lol

Does Dishonored get better as you progress? Remember playing it on the XBOX 360 but never bothered past the first hour or so, might pick it up again at this price

Two Tribes bundle was -85% off last night for £2.25 and includes Toki Tori, RUSH, EDGE & Toki Tori 2+ which is amazing value, it's currently -77% @ £3.44 and just as worth it. The Toki Tori games have a charm few indie games have and 2 is such a huge improvement over the first, it's the same kind of hardcore puzzler, but a huge sandbox with lush graphics.

Plus the chicken is really cute.

Wish the Bioshock DLC was on sale

picked up the second Dishonored DLC, despite the fact I haven't got round to playing the first yet

I've never got further than the 3rd area (bridge?). But I enjoy it but just got a little bored... Not sure why.

Well the first game of the sale for me has been bought... Electronic Super Joy soundtrack edition for £1.00... The game seems like a neat little Indie to mess about with but the soundtrack is awesome!

Also just a tip to any badge/card collectors out there... Due to rich kid frenzy as always when new cards/badges are added, the sale cards are selling for a relatively high price on the Marketplace right now... about 40-50p per card. If the summer sale was anything to go by they will have fallen to sub-10p prices by the end, so it makes sense to sell all the cards you get for the moment - you can always pick them back up later.

I just completed tons of badges without spending a penny! Sell a winter sale card for 40 - 50p, spend it on the cheapest cards you can find to complete another badge, thus earning another winter sale card... Rinse, repeat... Sure it's all meaningless but I do like having the profile showcases (the only real benefit to levelling up in Steam as far as I can see)

Hope Hard Reset wins this vote. £1.50 seems like a good price.

CaptainRAVE · 20 Dec 2013 at 10:56

Nothing for me yet

Yep!
story is pretty damn good and the character and skill useage can get really good. First game in a while thats had me play it thru more than once. Really enjoyed the story. The first DLC was fantastic too, not tried the newer one yet.

a definate buy tbh

Wasn't it one where you had to pay more than $6 to get it? I seem to remember a bundle, but I think I mustn't have been interested in any of the other games or something.

King4aDay · 20 Dec 2013 at 11:28

Did Shadowrun win the first community vote? Going to be annoyed if I missed it. Hope it comes up again.

Even at 6 dollar's it's only 3 an half quid still a bargain

Click to expand...

Psccht, tis worth RRP

andrewohare · 20 Dec 2013 at 11:35

Agreed

Omaeka · 20 Dec 2013 at 11:55

I own Hard Reset retail on the Kalypso DRM thing, as do I own Max Payne 3 on retail. The prices they are dropping to on Steam is tempting me to get them again just for convenience. I can vouch for Hard Reset, it's a brilliant throw back twitch FPS with gorgeous graphics, £1.50 is hilariously cheap for what it is, you can get what, a bottle and a can of Sprite for that? A small Redbull? Pack of Haribo and a bar of mints? A small bag of chippy shop chips?

Yeah...

Nope, FTL won that one..

As for purchases thus far, oh, I'm in trouble..
Alice - Madness Returns
Torchlight 1 & 2
Dishonoured

Not counting the fact that I bought Euro Truck Sim 2 and Starbound the other day.

Omaeka · 20 Dec 2013 at 12:00

Yup, FTL. Great game but it's a game that every bleeder on Steam owns, pretty annoying as I had my eye on Shadowrun.

Buckster · 20 Dec 2013 at 12:05

Perhaps my maths is off but spore price seems wrong ?
